my car hit 46k miles and i just noticed that the maintenance light came on i called acura dealer to get quote on how much it was they said $450. anyway i know i have seen the Schedule and what should be done to the car. I checked search but couldn't find it. so please if some has seen it let me know where i want to save some $$. plus once you do does the light go away?

 

wait, are you talking about the check engine light or the maintanence (service light)?

 

the check engine light could be simply your cars computer sensing a "leak" in the system...sometimes just a loose gas cap, or it could be sending another fault code from, say, a leaking hose, engine missing, etc. Most dealerships will charge a diagnostic fee, which is mostly just hooking up a computer to your car, that sends an exact problem to the tech. Most will have a "TSB" (technical service bulletin) that can give other insight on what the cars computer is reading. Diagnostics are usually anywhere from 50-100 buckarooski's, nothing to sweat about, unless they find something serious and you have to pay to fix it

 

i'm talking about the maintenance light.

 

try stickin your key into it...thats simple maintenance...

 

 

im looking for the mantenance schedule chart that i had seen here but i guess no one can help me everyone is a joker thanx guys.

 

FO REALS YAH!

 

Sorry, I don't remember a maintnence chart being posted. We thought you were asking how to get rid of the maintnence light and all you have to do for that is put the key in that little socket.

As far as maintnence I think at 45 it's just filter and oil change. Check your fluids etc. When was the last time you check brake fluid etc?

Thank you guys and you dustbuster for the cgart thats the one i was looking for. once again thank you all

 

at 140,000 miles I just do the important shit now. Hell the place thats been doing my car since new dont even fuck with me about it

 

CLpower how many miles you got on yours?

 

yeah at 45k there is very little that needs to be done. Check your owner's manual...I paid under $200 to do just the minor things that needed to be taken care of at 45k...waiting for ol' 60k to rear its ugly head

 

90k is rearing its ugly head here. I need to get my timing belt and water pump repalced before the snow falls, and that won't be to far away.
